PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2005. BEGAN TO NOTICE A POPPING SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE CAR IN LOW SPEED TURNS. TOOK IN TO BE CHECKED NOVEMBER 9 2005 WITH 901 MILES ON THE CAR. DEALER REPLACED RIGHT FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY, SHOCK ABSORBER/DAMPER POPPING SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE CAR IN LOW SPEED TURNS RETURNED IT NOW ALSO OCCURRED WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING, AND WAS MUCH LOUDER. TOOK IN TO BE CHECKED MARCH 6 2006 WITH 2300 MILES ON THE CAR. DEALER INSTALLED DAMPER MOUNTING BASE AND/OR BEARING AND/OR SPRING SEAT. DEALER ALSO INSTALLED "SILENCER TUBES" ON THE SUSPENSION. INSTALLATION OF THE SILENCER TUBES IS AN UNACCEPTABLE "FIX." THIS CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE DEALER KNOWS THE PROBLEM WILL RETURN AND WANTS ONLY TO COVER UP THE SYMPTOM.*JB

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, 2006 ACURA RSX(SEPT.16,2005), AT ABOUT BETWEEN 300 TO 500 MILES I STARTED TO HEAR POPPING NOISE OR SOME TYPE OF NOISE SOUNDING LIKE A BAD AXLE WOULD MAKE WHEN I MAKE SLOW TURNS OR FAST TURNS SOMETIMES. ACURA FIXED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME IT WAS SOME CUSHION PROBLEM WITH THE SPRINGS. AT ABOUT BETWEEN 10K TO 15K MILES I STARTED TO HEAR IT AGAIN(BETWEEN DEC. AND BEGINNING OF JAN) I TOOK IT BACK TO ACURA THEY FIXED IT AGAIN ...NOW AT ABOUT 30K MILES I STARTED TO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T TAKE IT INTO ACURA UNTIL ABOUT 36K BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME AND I WANT THE NOISE TO BE LOUDER AND WORST AND SO IT DID AT ABOUT 36K...IM SCHEDULE FOR A SERVICE AT ACURA ON SEPT.6 . THIS CAR IS STARTING TO BECOME A LEMON IN MY VIEWS. I ALSO KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 ACURA RSX. *NM
